2. Research Questions Phylogeography Within Species Differentiation
How have species moved across their range through time?
What is the demographic history (population size changes, bottlenecks, divergence times, admixture rates) of a species?
How are functional traits distributed through across a species range?
Within Species Differentiation
How many lineages comprise a species?
